"What was that?" Paige whispered.
"I don't know but…." Phoebe started, but then she went flying across the room, slamming against the wall.
Piper, Paige and Cole spun around, but there was nothing there. "Cole?" Piper cried. Cole didn't have a chance to answer her, as he went flying into the window, going through it and landing in the yard.
Piper flung her hands up and froze the room. "Paige, there's nothing here. It has to be an invisible demon of some kind."
Piper ran out to Cole, helping him get up. Paige went over to Phoebe, who was dusting off her pants. "What do we do now? How can we fight what we can't see?" Phoebe said.
"I have an idea." Paige said, running to the kitchen. She came back with a can of coffee grounds.
Paige started throwing the coffee grounds all over the floor. When she was done she threw the can to the side of the room. "Okay Piper, unfreeze the room!"
Piper flicked her hands, and the girls and Cole saw footprints showing up in the coffee. "Good idea Paige." Phoebe said.
The footprints came towards Phoebe, who leapt up and sent a kick out into the air. They heard a cry of pain, and heard something hit the wall. Cole formed an energy ball, and threw it towards the hole in the wall. There was another cry of pain, and then the demon became visible.
"Why didn't it destroy him?" Paige cried out.
"He's to powerful, all it did was take off his invisible shield." Cole answered.
The demon stood up once again. With a flick of it's wrist, it sent Paige flying into the kitchen. Phoebe ran towards it again, and it sent her into the wall where it had landed moments ago.
Cole formed another energy ball, but the demon knocked him into the wall also.
Piper raised her hands to blow it up, before she could the demon shot lighting out of it's hands like a spider web. The lightening hit Piper and she screamed out. The demon kept the lighting on her, as she continued to scream.
"PIPER!" Cole screamed, jumping to his feet. He started throwing multiple energy balls at the demon. It broke it's lighting strike on Piper and moved towards Cole. "Well well well" the demon said, it's voice sounding scratchy and deep. "If it isn't the almighty Belthazar, helping the charmed ones, yet again." The demon grabbed for Cole, who shimmered out of it's grasp and across the room.
He kneeled down beside Piper. "Piper, baby, are you okay?" he asked her. Piper opened her eyes and nodded, but Cole could tell she wasn't okay. She was holding her stomach, and she was trembling.
"Piper, I need you to blow him up as I hit him with an energy ball, I think it might be enough of a force to destroy him. Can you do it?"
Piper nodded. Cole helped her into the sitting position. "Ready?" He whispered to her. Piper raised her hands to answer him.
"NOW!" Cole screamed, throwing an energy ball at the demon. As it hit, Piper flicked her hands and blew the demon up. It screamed as the impact hit, and the demon shattered into a million pieces, falling all over the room.
"EEWWW" Phoebe said.
"PIPER!" The girls heard Cole cry out. He was holding Piper in his arms, she was unconscious.
"She was already injured, I think the force of using her magic knocked her out." Cole said, looking up at Paige.
"LEO LEO LEO" Paige cried out.
Blue lights twinkled as Leo orbed in. "What happened?" he said, seeing the mess in the room. He noticed Piper laying in Cole's arms. "Is she okay?" he asked Paige.
"I don't know. A demon attacked us. He shot her with a blue lighting." Phoebe said.
"Cole lay her down flat." Leo said, running over to them.
Cole laid Piper down on the floor, he knelt on one side of her. Leo knelt down on the other side of Piper. He moved his hands over her. A white light began to glow. Leo looked up at Cole, whose eyes showed the terror he felt at seeing Piper hurting.
Piper started coughing as she woke up. Leo helped her sit up. "Piper, are you okay?" he asked her.
" I think ….." she started to say, before her face contoured with pain.
"Piper?" Cole asked, seeing her look. "What is it?"
"My stomach, it still hurts, I feel like I've been shot." she choked out.
Leo ran his hands over her stomach, where another blue light began to glow. Leo looked up at her, "Are you okay now?"
Piper nodded. "Yeah, it doesn't hurt either now." She looked at Leo, who was pale, his lips in a grim frown. "Leo what is it?" She sat up in Cole's arms and looked at Leo.
"Piper, I can only heal one life at a time. That's why your stomach still felt like that." Leo said.
"I guess I don't understand Leo?" Piper said, confused.
"Piper, there is another life in your stomach that was injured. You must be pregnant." Leo told her.
Piper wasn't sure she heard Leo right. "Pregnant?" she said. Cole tightened his grasp around her, afraid she would pass out.
"Yes Piper, pregnant. Congratulations Piper." Leo choked out. "Congratulations to you too Turner." he hissed at Cole.
"Leo..how do you know it's….it's…." Piper started to choke out, now sure how to ask.
"You mean how do I know it's Cole's baby, and not mine?" Leo interrupted her. "Because the baby didn't heal itself. A whitelighter baby, rather half whitelighter or whole, would be able to heal itself." he finished. Leo stood up and smiled at her sadly. "I guess you can have your desired family now." he told her, before he orbed out of the room.
Cole helped Piper stand up. She looked at him for a few moments, before she broke out a huge grin. Cole grabbed her in his arms and spun her around.
Phoebe and Paige ran up and hugged each of them. "Congratulations." Paige said.
"Congrats you guys! I think me and Paige should give you a few moments!" Phoebe said, grabbing Paige's arm, pulling her out of the room.
Cole looked down at Piper. "A baby. Wow. I never thought this would happen for me." he told her.
"What would happen, a baby?" Piper asked.
"A family period. A woman who loves me, a reason to be alive. Something to smile about everyday. A child. Piper, this is a dream come true." Cole told her, bending down and kissing her on her nose.
"I've been without you long enough Mr. Turner, I think we need to go celebrate!" Piper told him, putting her arms around his neck. "Shimmer me to bed, Cole" she whispered in his ear.
"Gladly Piper, gladly." he said, as he shimmered them out of the manor, and to his bedroom.
